A torque measurement method that combines the inverse magnetostrictive effect with twist angle measurement has been proposed in this paper. A Kalman filter and complementary filter are applied to significantly reduce the noises and errors in the proposed method. This new measurement block can detect the applied torque with an error of less than 1%. The proposed measurement method can be used in static and dynamic conditions.

The ankle joint of a powered ankle–foot orthosis (PAFO) is a prominent component, as it must withstand the dynamic loading conditions during its service time, while delivering all the functional requirements such as reducing the metabolic effort during walking, minimizing the stress on the user’s joint, and improving the gait stability of the impaired subjects. More often, the life of an AFO is limited by the performance of its joint; hence, a careful design consideration and material selection are required to increase the AFO’s service life. In the present work, a compact AFO joint was designed based on a worm gear mechanism with steel and brass counterparts due to the fact of its large torque transfer capability in a single stage, enabling a compact joint. Further, it provided an added advantage of self-locking due to the large friction that prevents backdrive, which is beneficial for drop-foot recovery. The design was verified using nonlinear finite element analysis for maximum torque situations at the ankle joint during normal walking. The results indicate stress levels within its design performance; however, it is recommended to select high-grade structural steel for the ankle shaft as the highest stresses in AFO were located on it.

Fiber-reinforced composite structures are used in different applications due to their excellent strength to weight ratio. Due to cost and tool handling issues in conventional manufacturing processes, like resin transfer molding (RTM) and autoclave, vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) is the best choice among industries. VARTM is highly productive and cheap. However, the VARTM process produces complex, lightweight, and bulky structures, suitable for mass and cost-effective production, but the presence of voids and fiber misalignment in the final processed composite influences its strength. Voids are the primary defects, and they cannot be eliminated completely, so a design without considering void defects will entail unreliability. Many conventional failure theories were used for composite design but did not consider the effect of voids defects, thus creating misleading failure characteristics. Due to voids, stress and strain uncertainty affects failure mechanisms, such as microcrack, delamination, and fracture. That’s why a proper selection and understanding of failure theories is necessary. This review discusses previous conventional failure theories followed by work considering the void’s effect. Based on the review, a few prominent theories were suggested to estimate composite strength in the void scenario because they consider the effect of the voids through crack density, crack, or void modeling. These suggested theories were based on damage mechanics (discrete damage mechanics), fracture mechanics (virtual crack closure technique), and micromechanics (representative volume element). The suggested theories are well-established in finite element modeling (FEM), representing an effective time and money-saving tool in design strategy, with better early estimation to enhance current design practices’ effectiveness for composites. This paper gives an insight into choosing the failure theories for composites in the presence of voids, which are present in higher percentages in mass production and less-costly processes (VARTM).

The mechanical properties of the material are essential to identify the material behavior of the structure. Predicting four-directional braided composites’ mechanical properties based on accurate modeling is an essential issue among researchers. In this research, the principle of minimum energy loss-based mechanics of structure genome was used for the two-step homogenization of three-dimensional (3D) four-directional braided composites. In the first step homogenization, the micro-scale model’s effective mechanical properties were decided by considering fibers and matrix; in the second step homogenization, the final effective mechanical properties of the meso-scale model were obtained by considering yarns and matrix. TexGen python script was implemented for accurate modeling of 3D four-directional braided cells with jamming effects. The current process sustainability was validated for 3D four-directional braided polymer matrix composites (PMCs) material by available finite element analysis (FEA) and experimental literature. The method is further extended for 3D four-directional braided ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) to confirm its versatility for standard composites. A commercial FEA was also performed on the meso-scale braided cell to validate the two-step homogenization results. This research explored fast and more accurate modeling and analysis techniques for 3D four-directional braided composites.

Estimating the parameters of sinusoidal signals is a fundamental problem in signal processing and in time-series analysis. Although various genetic algorithms and their hybrids have been introduced to the field, the problems pertaining to complex implementation, premature convergence, and accuracy are still unsolved. To overcome these drawbacks, an enhanced genetic algorithm (EGA) based on biological evolutionary and mathematical ecological theory is originally proposed in this study; wherein a prejudice-free selection mechanism, a two-step crossover (TSC), and an adaptive mutation strategy are designed to preserve population diversity and to maintain a synergy between convergence and search ability. In order to validate the performance, benchmark function-based studies are conducted, and the results are compared with that of the standard genetic algorithm (SGA), the particle swarm optimization (PSO), the cuckoo search (CS), and the cloud model-based genetic algorithm (CMGA). The results reveal that the proposed method outperforms the others in terms of accuracy, convergence speed, and robustness against noise. Finally, parameter estimations of real-life sinusoidal signals are performed, validating the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed method.

The electrical property of gas diffusion layers (GDLs) plays a significant role in influencing the overall performance of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The electrical degradation performance of GDLs has not been reported sufficiently. Understanding the electrical degradation characteristics of GDLs is vital to better fuel cell performance, higher efficiency, and longer service time. This paper investigated the effective in-plane electrical resistivity of a commercial GDL by considering environmental and assembly conditions similar to those in use for the operation of PEMFCs. The effective in-plane electrical resistivity of the GDL, subjected to a series of freeze–thaw thermal cycles, was characterized to study its progressive electrical degradation with thermal cycles. Experimental results indicated that, under low compressive loads, the effective in-plane electrical resistivity of the commercial GDL showed weak anisotropy, and was greatly influenced by the transformation of carbon fiber connection in the porous layer. In particular, the thermal aging treatment on the GDL through the first 100 freeze–thaw cycles contributed a lot to its in-plane electrical degradation performance.

In this paper, a three-dimensional finite element analysis (3D-FEA) model for shear horizontal surface acoustic wave (SH-SAW) torque sensors is presented. Torque sensors play a significant role in various fields to ensure a reliable torque transmission in drivelines. Featured with the advantages of high propagation velocity, large Q-value, and good power capacity, SH-SAW based torque sensors are promising but very few studies have been carried out. In order to develop a successful sensor, understanding the characteristics of SH-SAWs produced on piezoelectric substrates and torque sensing modes is indispensable. Therefore, in this study, we first investigated the effect on the generation of waves when different Y-cut quartz substrates are engaged. Thereafter, analyses and comparisons, regarding the effect on the polarized displacement, wave guidance, and wave mode, were conducted for different configurations of wave-guide layer thickness to wavelength ratios (hlayer/λ) and materials. Results show that Y-cut quartz at an angle close to 36° with a gold (Au) layer varying from hAu/λ = 0.02 to 0.03 thickness could be the most effective configuration for the excitation of SH-SAWs, compared to other combinations using platinum (Pt), titanium (Ti) and silicon dioxide (SiO2). Finally, based on the FEA SH-SAW torque sensor model configuring with a Y+36° quartz substrate and 0.025 λ-thick gold layer, the relationship between the applied torque and sensed voltage was examined, which shows a perfect linearity demonstrating the performance of the sensors.

In this study, three-dimensional (3D) orthotropic mechanical properties of a commercial gas diffusion layer (GDL) are experimentally investigated. Although GDL is an important 3D structural membrane in proton electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), most papers have merely considered its in-plane linear isotropic characteristics due to the lack of 3D anisotropic mechanical performance investigation. In real operating PEMFCs, GDL is nonlinear orthotropic composite and its mechanical characteristics affect the overall performance of PEMFCs, seriously and directly. In this research, as considering GDL’s valid configuration in PEMFCs, mechanical tests such as compression test, tension test, and shear test are conducted to study its 3D mechanical behavior. Test results present that the GDL behaves in an orthotropic and nonlinear manner. In addition, microstructures of the GDL are observed through scanning electron microscope (SEM) images, to explain its different kinds of mechanical failure performance.

In this paper, the mechanical degradation of a commercial gas diffusion layer subjected to repeated freeze–thaw thermal cycles is studied. In a fuel cell, the mechanical assembly state directly affects the performance of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. Particularly, the gas diffusion layer repeatedly withstands the complex heat and humidity environmental conditions in which the temperature and humidity are always greatly changed. Studying the three-dimensional mechanical degradation of gas diffusion layers due to orthotropic properties is very useful in extending the lifetime and durability of fuel cells. To investigate this, we first established the standard freeze–thaw thermal cycle and studied the gas diffusion layer’s mechanical degradation performance with up to 400 repeated freeze–thaw thermal cycles. Furthermore, different types of failure in the gas diffusion layer caused by the repeated thermal aging treatment were observed using a scanning electron microscope, to explain the change in the mechanical deterioration. As a result, the different thermal failure plays different roles in the explanation of the gas diffusion layer’s mechanical degradation under different thermal cycles. In particular, the thermal failure that resulted from the first 100 thermal cycles has the greatest effect on the compressive and tensile performance, compared to the shear behavior.

A vehicle disk brake, which has cross drilled hole patterns on a frictional surface for improving cooling and braking performance, has propensity to cause crack problem under the harsh braking condition. In this study, the finite element analysis by using ABAQUS was adopted to investigate a cause of crack occurrence by the thermo-mechanical phenomenon around drilled hole patterns. As a remedy of the crack generation, the disk brake rotor with stress relieving and ferritic nitrocarburizing was prepared and tested on brake dynamometer in harsh condition. The test result was examined in terms of pad wear, the braking torque variation, the braking temperature changes, the crack initiation timing, and the crack propagation speed. As a test result, the disk after heat treatment showed 3.61 % higher average braking temperature than the disk without heat treatments, to suggest decreased heat dissipation performance, however, it also showed 14 % lower pad wear amount, and 0.1 % smaller braking torque variance than the disk without heat treatments, to stand for improved contact characteristics. Also, the heat treated brake rotor showed 51.3 % lower crack propagation rate which is considered as proper countermeasure of the fracture phenomenon at the edge of cross drilled hole.

This paper presents a novel genetic algorithm (GA) for the parameter estimation of surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor signal. Differently from conventional GA, a two-step crossover operation is proposed for better interchange between variables and individuals. Besides, to resolve the problem of premature convergence and to increase the population diversity, an adaptive mutation mechanism is integrated as well. In order to verify the performance of the proposed method, benchmark function based studies using traditional GA, particle swarm optimization (PSO), and our proposed algorithm are implemented. At the end, parameter estimations for simulated signal are carried out. All the results highlight the superiority of our algorithm.

For the design of magnetostrictive MEMS devices, finite-element modeling (FEM), the determination of the magnetostrictive coefficient, and application examples were examined in this paper. The magnetostrictive coefficients are usually calculated by measuring the bending deflection of the cantilever on which magnetostrictive materials are deposited. In most of the research on the magnetostrictive deposited substrate for the derivation of structural formulas, it is commonly assumed that the flexural rigidities of magnetostrictive materials are negligible because magnetostrictive films are much thinner than substrate materials. In this paper, the effect of magnetostrictive thin film's elastic energy on the magnetostrictive coefficient is investigated. A self-coded and developed finite-element program for magnetostrictive actuators is formulated, where magnetic properties are considered as nonlinear, and elastic properties are assumed as linear. As a result, it is potentially shown that magnetostrictive thin-film micropatterned actuators would be accommodated for targeted actuating behavior through an FEM capability for evaluation and selective micropatterning technique for fabrication.

In this paper, a commercial gas diffusion layer is used, to quantitatively study the correlation between its compressive characteristics and its operating temperature. In polymer electrode membrane fuel cells, the gas diffusion layer plays a vital role in the membrane electrode assembly, over a wide range of operating temperatures. Therefore, understanding the thermo-mechanical performance of gas diffusion layers is crucial to design fuel cells. In this research, a series of compressive tests were conducted on a commercial gas diffusion layer, at three different temperatures. Additionally, a microscopical investigation was carried out with the help of a scanning electron microscope, to study the evolution and development of the microstructural damages in the gas diffusion layers which is caused by the thermo-mechanical load. From the obtained results, it could be concluded that the compressive stiffness of the commercial gas diffusion layer depends, to a great extent, on its operational temperature.

Automotive brake noise has become a stubborn problem as automotive cars achieve higher driving torques, since that the increased torque induces the generation of severe noise dissipation during brake operation. Moreover, the global brake tuning market for achieving higher performance of the vehicle has expanded recently. The need to control the noise grows more in this connection. The tuning brake kits have employed cross-drilled and slotted machining pattern on the surface of the rotor. These designs have advantages to improve air ventilation, temperature control, and surface cleaning of brake pad. However, the effects of modal frequency by patterned rotor surfaces are rarely discussed, even if it is highly related with brake squeal phenomenon. Therefore, this study deals with the relationship between patterned surfaces and brake squeal through the numerical methods. The commercial software of a finite element analysis is employed for calculation by varying geometric design factors of each rotor pattern. As a result, the cross-drilled machining patterns are concluded to be an influential factor for in-plane mode frequency while the slotted patterns have more leverage for out-of-plane mode frequency.

Composite materials are composed of multiple types of materials as reinforcement and matrix. Among them, CFRP (Carbon fiber reinforced polymer) is widely used materials in automotive and defense industry. Carbon fibers are used as a reinforcement, of which Young's modulus is in a prepreg form. In automotive industry, especially, high strain rate test is needed to measure dynamic properties, used in dynamic analysis like high inertia included simulation as a car crash. In this paper, a SHTB (Split Hopkinson tensile bar) machine is employed for estimating stress-strain curve under dynamic load condition on aluminum 6061 and CFRP. The strain rate range is about from 100 /s to 1000 /s and the number of prepreg layers of composite specimen is total eight plies which are stacked symmetrically to structure CFRP. As a result, stress / strain point data are obtained and used for simulation into stacked composites.
